Seems he will be happy with $500 for all of them. Why
should they make computers that are so heavy? I am
sure the boards are light. I remembered that I once
assembled a TU81, and there were two weights -- yes,
weights -- in it that each was about 50LB.

Not just a 785 but a VAX 8530, a VAX 8700 too. Two
VAX 8250s
to boot (pun possibly intended :-)). Plus much other
stuff
including spare parts and distribution tapes.
Surely CA is no problem: I assume you'd have to hire
a driver
to go with the 40' truck anyway - how expensive can
it be
from Oklahom to California :-)
I like the "Preference to go to a good home -
otherwise theres over $2,000 scrap gold in these
machines"
and I'm impressed by the "Can be shown fully
working".
Clearly a golden opportunity for someone.
